GENERAL PAINE COMES TO TINE.

CESS, of Boston, are going to build another
loop-yacht TO serve as the defender Of Ameri-
can supremacy against the Scotch cutter
Thistle General Paine is gallant man.
Just what the country would have done with
out him is a question we don't like TO think
about. The Puritan and the Mayhower are the
practical results Of his patriotic feeling and
craftsmanship. While others halted and con-
sidered expense he acted, and his work was
full compensation to him for all he had done.
While we have yachtsmen in this country
who thus appreciate their duty and employ their
opportunities. what's the use in England's

under most misleading impression. Yachts

MIR. pARNELHs ERANK rA1K.

Mr.. Parnell agrees with Mr. Morley in con-
sidering the Coercion act an instrument not
Of law and order, but Of defiance. In the i'd
mirable interview with Mr.. Gill, which The
TRIBUNE's budget of cable correspondence
contained yesterday, the Irish leader character
lied the Governments policy as deliberate
attempt to produce an outbreak OF crime and
outrage and to goad the people into violence.
He virtually denounced the Tory Ministers as
outrage-mongers, who by unjustifiable legisla-
ton were instgaGng agrarian revolt in Ire
land. In ordinary circumstances this desperate
plot might 10 successful, but Mr.. Parnell has
confidently predicted its complete failure in
the present crisis. The island was at peace
when the Coercion act was introduced, and at
peace it will remain If his counsel be followed.
Never was the famous maxim of the great
O'Connell so true as it is to-day: "Cnmc
gives strength TO the enemies of Ireland"
A political revolt against the wanton policy
Of the Tory Ministers is in progress in England
and this powerful movement will be arrested
if the Irish people lose self-control and furnish
tho Government with a prctcxt for the en-
forcement of coercvc legislation. II the
island remains at peace under the provocation
it is now receiving TO have recourse to acts Of
violence the conversion Of the English de-
mocracy to Home Rule will be completed.
Mr.. Parnelps criticisms in yesterdays cable
letter upon the Governments land measures
disclose fatal flaws in the proposed scheme of
remedial legislation. The clauses borrowed
from the Irish leaders own bill are coupled
with provisions which lead him to suspect that
reforms are to be carried out by partisans Of
the landholders and the roundabout system OF
bankruptcy and various devices for facilitating
and cheapening evicdons are condemned by
him in the harshest terms. If the Tory Min
listers had accepted Mr.. Parners bin last au-
tumn, they would have conciliated public feel
ing in Ireland and probably have succeeded
for time in proving that they could govern
the island without Coercion and without Home
Rule. AS it is, their bclated reform measure
is received without gratitude and enthusiasm |;
and the Objectionable features of it will be
stubbornly fought. The remedial virtues OF
the whole scheme are counteracted by the active
poison of the Coercion proposals.

CANADIAN Rails AND CANALS

When the Interstate Commerce oct was pend
ing it was pointed out that one Of the most
serious difficulties in the way of its satisfactory
enforcement would DO tho attitude OF the
Canadian roads, which would be beyond the
control of the act. and therefore able TO com
pete without restraint for through traffic be-
tween the West and the seaboard. The Grand
Trunk OF Canada has brought this difficulty
home to the trunk lines, by insisting upon terms
which would virtually leave it free to COM
pete without restraint for the through traffic.
and in that position it acts with the Chicago
and Grand Trunk, which has virtually with
drawn from the Western Traffic Association.
The danger now is that these Canada lines
being FREQ to take through freight at such
rates as they please. will divert a large share
Of the traffic from the lines subject TO the
Interstate Commerce act.
At the same time q new step is noticed in
the warfare which Canada il waging against
interests OF the United States. A sudden and
sweeping reduction Of tolls on Canadian canals
threatens greatly increased competition . for
shippers Of this country on the lakes. The
tolls are substantially abolished as 70 shipments
through the canals to points in Canada but
not as to shipments TO points in the United
States 80 that the effect is TO offer n large
bounty for shipments through Montreal to
Europe. In this respect also the Interstate
Commerce act gives the Canadians great ad-
vantage Of which they arc not slow 10 avail!

RELATED ENERGY.

The official explanations respecting the delay
in completing tho Roach cruisers are always
amusing. When Secretary Whitney entered
upon his career at Washington the Dolphin
was finished and virtually accepted by the
Advisory Board, and the three remaining YES.
sells were in an advanced stage of completion
If he had shown practical sagacity and not at
tempted to discredit the work of his predcces-
sor by fair means or foul, the three cruisers
would have been finished in 1885, and the
Government would have had lower bids for
the additional cruisers contracted for last year
The first result of partisan warfare upon the
shipbuilding industry was the bankruptcy OF
the most enterprising firm in the trade; the
second result was the withdrawal from the
next series of competitions of the establish
ment having superior facilities for doing the
Governments work and the final outcome,
after two years of unnecessary delay is the
completion of the cruisers in accordance with
Tho original designs. The last result is an
nounccd from Washington with flourish of
trumpets indicating the triumph of illnsSry
principles Of naval reform. The work is to be
rapidly pushed -" the accounts are TO be
speedily adjusted /" !; the assignees have been
admonishcd that under the thirteenth clause
of the original contract the vessels must be
completed "without unnecessary delay; and
there is a fine display of energy all along the
line What renders all these official eXplana-
tons grotesque is the fact that the Government
itself is responsible for two years of inaction
and delay.
The humorists who send out these spirited
proclamations from the Department sometimes
fail TO discriminate between homcly truth and
decorated fiction. For instance, in the bulletin
published yesterday, confession was made that
there had been much needless experimenting
with the Atlanta, and that it had proved to be
of doubtful utility. All extra work on the
cruisers, which was recommended after the
trial trips of that ship, is 10 be discontinued,
and aside from some small changes necessary
TO fit the vessels for sea, the energies of the
Department will bc concentrated upon the work
required by the original contracts with John
Roach That is to say, the Secretary has re-
voked all previous decisions and concluded to
finish the vessels in accordance With the first
designs. lie is TO do now what he ought to
have done in the beginning; and nothing more
is to lie said about "cxtra work " and "ncces-
sary improvements " upon the first Advisory
Boards plans. This passage of plain, unvar-
nished truth contrasts strangely with the fan
tastic efforts Of the Department to obtain credit
for energy and administrative capacity in COM
pleting the cruisers two years after the work
should have been done.

REPEAL THE M4NDAMUS ACT

Mr.. Maryin's bill to repeal the so-called
Mandamus act has passed the Senate promptly.
but seems to have got into an eddy since, and
to be making little progress The end OF the
session is now approaching, and toward the
last there will be abundant opportunities for
the enemies of the bill to offer fatal obsruc-
tons to its passage. 1t is one of the measures
which are urgently demanded by the decent
clements of the community. The retention on
the statute-book of law which, as the notorious
BROOKLYN case proved, can be employed to
effect the consummation of one of the worst Of
outnagcs, namely. the forcing of rum-shops upon
neghborhoods wholly rcpugnant to them, ought
not to be countenanccd longer. The bill was
originally introduced for the protection OF ar-
plicants for licenses against Matchmaking on
the part Of corrupt officials. The remedy was
illegitimate. The euro of the evil complained
of lay in turning out offending officers,
but that recourse was naturally not approved
by men who asked no more than that their own
faction should have opportunity to grow fat
on the same kind of brgandage. The opera
ton of the law has been such as TO make it
plain that under it's provisions the public Is
as much at the mercy of INSCRIPTIONS courts
as it was previously at the hands of official
partisans.
The Republican party is committed to prac
teal temperance reform. 1t has made record
on tho Crosby High-License bill Of which ii
can be proud. 1t has been loyal to it's duty
AID to tho full limit of its responsibility so far
az that measure is concerned. But it cannot
afford to close the present session without
taking as square stand on the Mandamus bill
as it has on High License. The act is odious
to the people of Ncw-YorI and Brooklyn. 1t
is regarded, and not without warrant in actua!
experience. as buttaess TO the worst element
In the saloon interest. IL is believed TO be an
engine for breaking down whatever restraints
conscientious Boards Of Excise may seek to put
mon the drink evil 1t is considered rs the
instrument by which the gin-mill may be
planted alongside of the church or the school
house in bold and insolent defiance and mock
cry of the only public sentiment which truly
represents American civilization. Such law
ought not TO stand, and the Republicans in the
Assembly should lose no time in ralying their
forces for its repeal. They cannot take on the
responsibility for the failure of the Marvin
bill, and vet if they do not act promptly there
is danger that this heavy burden may be laid
upon them.

TIE BROOKLYN WATER WORKS EXTEN-
SION

v.
No ono familiar with the situation can doubt
the necessity of an extension of the Brooklyn
water works. This necessity has been recos-
nized and urged at intervals for the last ten
years. and small additions TO tho supply have
been made from time to time. But an addition
commensurate with the needs Of the city has
not yet been made. Plans, however. Tor an
adequate extension were made in November,
1885. and submitted to the Common Council
Although nearly year and half have elapsed
since then. no substantial action has been taken
by the Aldermen This extraordinary delay
has been caused by q deadlock between that
BODY and the Commissioner OF City Works as
10 which should take precedence OF the other
in acting on the matter. The Aldermen have
refused to issue the bonds needed for the work.
claiming that It was the Commissioners duty
first TO make the contracts.
A fortnight ago, however the Corporation
Counsel wrote an opinion which ought to have
cleared up this controversy at once. die holds
that the Aldermen have nothing to do with the
contracts their sole duty being to authorize
the issue Of bonds to meet the expense OF con-
structon" But these men have not yet been
spurrcd to do their duty. There is absolutely
no excuse for their neglect II Is time that they
were made TO feel their responsibility Already
half million dollars has been spent to acquire
land and water rights and nothing remains but
to authorize the building Of the necessary con-
dut. The bill before the Legislature aims to
facili tate the purchase Of certain lands which
the owners hold at an exorbitant figure, and
this ought to become a law. But nothing can
DC accomplished while the Aldermen OF Brook
lyn continue their dog n-tbcmangcr policy.
